A couple of years ago we found rougebunnyrouge the make-up range adorned by nature inspired illustrations… and packed full of actives throughout the formulas… have you tried it?

We give you the low-down of some of our favourite and new products we’ve used from the range… and just so you know… we just cannot put it down!!! – Plus… We have a super 20% discount for you too!

First up The Base: Milk Aquarelle Liquid Foundation in Coconut Milk Parfait, €53 (around £46) SHOP IT HEREThis foundation is so dreamy… it sits in a frosted glass bottle arriving within a beautifully illustrated paper tube; and the best thing about it? You need the smallest amount ever! It glides over your skin without the need of a primer and a few dabs can cover your face entirely… of course if you want heavier coverage too this one is great for building up in the areas you need it, too!

It contains some fabulous skin protection too with detoxyl an anti-pollution ingredient keeping the city smog at bay, bamboo for repair and softening shea butter. In addition it contains panthenol which enables the ingredients to penetrate the skin, assisting with hydration and it’s a pro vitamin of B5 – stimulating cell regeneration!

All in all it’s pretty fabulous… it stays on our skin all day with no patching or dryness! Taking on all of the other cosmetics with ease making application of your morning makeup quick and easy!

It’s eye time… that you take notice of rougebunnyrouge’s endless eye collections… they have numerous products for every single look! Above we have Pristine Light Corrective eye primer, €35 (around £30.50) SHOP IT HEREApplied with the sponge applicator on the tube tip, you need a small squeeze to give a base ideal for RBR’s glitter pigments, to hold them in place and to mask any blemishes too!

For precision cut eyeliner, trust in Rouge Bunny Rouge’s Nocturnal Ink Satin Eyeliner, €28 (around £24.50) SHOP IT HEREIt has an ultra–fine brush tip, allowing ultra skinny cat eye flicks, and a fuller lash line. The liner will not rub off how ever much you try, yet as soon as you go to remove it at the end of the night, it comes off straight-away! Just what you want smudge-proof products, that remove with ease at the end of the night!

The Amplitute big lash mascara, €29 (around (£25) SHOP IT HEREis surprisingly volume inducing and gives the sense of extreme length also! Initially from the non clumpy / thick texture on the brush I thought this wouldn’t do much, but it goes a long way; and although it isn’t waterproof – it takes a lot of moisture and more than rain on your face to budge it! Meaning no streaming lines down your face! The wax that makes up the formula, is super nourishing on your lashes too – so you get to look great and treat your eyes too!

The Long Lasting Duo Cream Eyeshadow, €42 (around £37) – shown here in Gossamer Wing SHOP IT HERE is your everyday essential product. With a nude cream – semi matte eyeshadow and a light golden coffee shade with shimmer (It’s packed full of RBR glitter pigments – which without doubt you should pick up in EVERY colour if you can! )- this is the every occasion go to nude!

P.S. Be a Workout beauty…

If you’re a gym bunny that likes to not bare all at the gym, and goes down the makeup to the gym route, why not try the new range from Primark Beauty?

Stand up to sweat with the new PS…Workout cosmetics range from Primark beauty – lightweight, long wearing, natural finish make up for lips, eyes and skin. The 11-piece collection features sweat and splash proof formulas in pretty, neutral colours & brights to enhance your natural beauty whilst withstanding your workout. Hero products include a protecting lip balm with SPF 50 for outdoor workouts, sweat resistant powder for a confident, matte complexion and waterproof eyeliner for subtle definition.

We have tested out some of the range to see if it really stands up to longwear, and whether we actually like it! First up we try the Liquid lipstick in Cheerleader and the matching lip liner – a total barg for £3! – Cheerleader is a bright in your face pink – I don;t quite think I could wear this in a gym ever to be totally honest – You’s spot me a mile off! But I have to say, the liner goes on smoothly with ease, and the lip fix liquid lipstick, you only need a little bit and you have full pout coverage. I found it a tad drying so make sure you use a moisturing primer before hand to help! Next up the foundation stick – it needs a tad warming up before it goes on, but this gives good quick coverage, and blends fairly well! For the fairer girls I hope there’s some lighter shades too, but i’m sure there will be! Again, bargain price, so the quality is great for such a price, and finally the eyeliners, are non budging and waterproof, smooth application, lovely and dark too, not muted by the dampness of the waterline.

Overall a fab collection – I’d just choose the more muted shades if I chose to be the make-up wearing gym bunny! Thumbs up Primark!
